Olivia J Charters – Vertigo
FUEL IS INCLUDED IN ALL OF OUR PRICES!!!
Olivia J Charters has got a new boat and its crew is inviting you aboard to have a fishing trip in Texas you won’t forget! Captain Rodney Chapman takes you nearshore, offshore, to reefs, and to wrecks, starting out of Freeport. Join him for a fun-packed trip and make some lovely memories on the water!
Captain Rodney uses a restored 33’ World Cat TE catamaran powered by 2 brand-new 300 HP Suzuki engines. This vessel is set up for bluewater deep sea trips and is federally permitted. It uses all the modern navigation electronics and features a Full marine Toilet, an ice-box, and a livewell. You’ll also have a first mate at your disposal in case you need any help during the trip.
As the boat is federally permitted, you and the crew are able to travel beyond the 9-mile state water line and go after various Snapper types, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, Grouper, and many more. To reel in your catch, you can bottom, deep sea, and drift fish as well as troll and jig. You choose if you’ll keep the fish you catch and take it home. Hard alcohol isn’t allowed on board but you’re welcome to bring beer. Fuel is included in the price.
Before you depart, bring your licenses, snacks, and drinks. Captain Rodney will provide everything else needed for a great day on the water.
Pick a day, pack your stuff, and join in for some wonderful fishing time in Texas!

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM)
Best charter!
This was by far the best charter I have ever had, even better than the one I took in the Florida keys. Rodney was an amazing captain and got us on the fish fast. After about 10 minutes of him getting the lines in, we had a fish on it. We caught multiple red drums, bonnet head sharks, and a couple black tip sharks. We were catching left and right and had to start releasing them! I would definitely charter with Olivia Charters again and especially with Rodney! Thank you again for an amazing experience!

Great Fishing Day
The captain was knowledgeable about the area and in what spots we could have the best chance of catching some good fish. He did a great job at it we got to take some good reds home.

The Real Deal
Captain Rodney & first mate Jackson were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and put us on the species we were targeting. Thanks for the great time, memories, and freezer full of fish!

Last minute Trip Change, but still a Great time.
Planned on taking my son and some friends offshore fishing, but due to weather issues, we had to make a last minute change to an Inshore Adventure. The Captain and deckhand were awesome and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. All the boys caught some fish and were happy at the end of the day.

Another great trip!
This was our second trip with Capt. Rodney on their larger boat. We took two six year olds and few dads out for a 5 hour near shore trip. Caught our limit of bull reds and brought in some snapper and a shark. Tons of fun and caught some awesome fish! We’ll certainly be going out again with Olivia J. Can’t wait til next time!!
